19 May Fancy Footloose + Free

Isn’t it always the case, that when you need a fancy dress, formal gown, or dressy number that there seems to be NOTHING that speaks to you. So frustrating 😡

With that in mind, you can see why I justified purchasing this beautiful off white, flowy goddess dress without any upcoming function or event on the horizon🙈

I stood in one of my favorite local clothing shops (Art of Style) for 45 minutes taking pictures, rationalizing, and asking girlfriends if this was a good buy. It was finally Dustin (the always has my best shopping interest in mind), that gave me the push to go for it.

So 5 months later, there she sat…. burning a hole in my closet. I had gone to several events, all of which had been weddings. And everyone knows, if you show up in anything remotely close to white, you might loose a limb via the bride. Finally the event of all events came down the pipeline….I had been invited to my friend Lucus’s Wedding. He and his now husband, Chris, didn’t give a flip about old “never wear a white dress to a wedding” traditions… And I love them for that! I was suuuuper excited to have an excuse to be extra fancy amongst friends.

Cheers to being untraditional, fancy, and footloose!

If you’ve never shopped at The Art of Style, and you are a local here in Raleigh, make sure to skim through their new spring collection. It’ll make you swoooooon.. Their flow is a mix of on trend geometrics, with a soft twist of free people flow.
